| Description: |
Lyly was the principal court dramatist of the 1580s and author of the period's best-selling prose work. This collection includes three newly edited texts, annotated for the non-specialist, and a full introduction. |
| Synopsis: |
This work contains three texts edited from first editions, including a substantial extract from "Euphues: The Anatomy of Wit" as well as the plays "Campaspe," the first significant comedy of the English Renaissance, and "Gallathea," which has been said to have exercised a considerable influence on Shakespeare. The extract from "Euphues: The Anatomy of Wit" is the first modern spelling edition of the 1578 text. |
